MADE ATTACK ON THE MASONS. Unusual Incident at Pop lar Springs Church. CAUSED RESENTMENT, Rev. Mr. Haddock's Indis creet Remarks. Prominent and Worthy Men would uot | Muten Silently to the Preacher's Intemperate Language. In the course of a sermon in Poplar | Springs Baptist Church, Sullivans township, Sunday morning Rev. H, C. Haddock, the pastor, made a denun ciatory attack on masonry. He is re ported to have said that the olaim that | masonry recognizes teachings of the Bible was false and to have used lang uage necessarily and extremely insult lag to all masons. It.is sa!d that Mr. E. O. Mitchell arose in the congrega tion and inquired politely if Mr. Had dock was a mason..The latter admitted that he was not. Mr. Mitohell then in timated that he was not in a position to know what he was talking about. Mr. Jeff Crawford is said to have joined Mr. Mitohell In his protest as did sev eral others. The preacher abruptly closed his sermon and after the service several gentlemen rebuked him. Men like Mr. Mitchell and Mr. Craw ford would not interrupt a preacher without the provocation was great bu t they must have felt that the preacher was in utter Ignorance seeking to I prejudice the community by an intem perate and unwarranted attack upon a worthy institution of which they were ? part. They doubtless saw that the only way to reply and make defence was then and there. Hence they nat urally could not sit still in their seats. It seems that an intulligent preacher | could soarcely expeot to harshly abuse an honorable society in tho presence of its members without causing resent ment in them any more than he could expeot to insult thorn by name without expeoting the insults to be resented.
